Motion & Pause

When we press the ‘take picture’ button on a still camera, we are saying ‘now.’ But what is it that we have captured in the framing of the moment? Does ‘motion’ look any different than a ‘pause’?

We can fill in the spaces with what we think will be the next location. We move with the camera looking for perspective, we wait for the moment to still the object.

On its own, the object moves or remains still. We dance together, camera and object, motion and pause.

Beginnings

Conversations can begin with an exchange of ideas or images. These conversations can wander -- meanderings along a wooded trail, along a beach or city streets. Or they can seek some objective, seek a certitude about what is and what is not. Since this is the beginning of the conversation -- or blog -- it is too soon to pick one way or the other.
